I have received an enquiry about the possibility of palladium toxicity in a
patient who has had his teeth crowned with a palladium containing alloy.
Symptoms are exacerbation of eczema and asthma, increased salivation and
tachycardia.
Do these fit and what, if any, tests are appropriate?
Thanks,
Trevor Tickner,
Norwich
